fluctoplasma is Hamburg's festival for a diverse urban society and is entering its fifth year in 2024: From October 24th to 27th, we invite you to join us in shaping a new edition and celebrating our first anniversary together! This year, our festival is themed "recharge resistance," and we call upon you to engage politically and fight for our shared coexistence!

In a year marked by European elections, important state elections in various German states, as well as racist, antidemocratic master plans, and the gradual erosion of our societal cohesion, a disturbing trend becomes increasingly clear: the rise of right-wing and antidemocratic forces, which are expected to deeply embed themselves in the fabric of our parliamentary democracy and civil society.

The artist's and writer's call for the ArtAscent Art & Literature Journal Future issue is now open.  

Abstractions are all around us. Ideas can be abstract; existing as an idea, feeling or quality but not having a tangible existence. Some conversations can be abstract, vague and theoretical and not based on particular examples or facts. And of course, there is abstract art which evokes feelings without trying to realistically represent the appearance of people or things. Abstract art, like poetry, offers a fragment of a mysteriously familiar narrative without directly revealing it in a realistic way. Reveal your most ABSTRACT thoughts.
